About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My MA studies at the University of Bonn, Germany

ABOUT ME

I am the father of 2 children.
I have studied among others Turkish, Kazakh and Mongolian languages and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Szeged, Hungary. I'm presently a Ph.D. candidate at the Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey and an MA student at the Department of Mongolian and Tibetan Studies of the University of Bonn. At the same time, I'm working in the IOA Faculty Library.
I like meeting new cultures, new people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to travel abroad and socializing with native people, in addition lodging with Couchsurfing is cool.
